The entire passenger car turned silent.

Even though it came from a gentle girl, the words that came out of her mouth also felt very vicious. All the other passengers looked stunned. Tang Chi was still murderously staring at the man in glasses.

From the context of Tang Chi’s scolding with such a clear aim towards the man, the other people could easily understand what had happened.

They even understood more with Tang Chi’s face in particular, many people noticed her when she got on the subway. It wasn’t unexpected at all for her to attract such unwelcoming actions…

Coincidently, the subway announced the arrival of the next station. The passenger car shook slightly and then stopped. Under the gaze of the people around him, the man in the glasses scurried off with a flushed face, following after, a crowd of people also got out of the passenger car.

Tang Chi rolled her eyes. As she approached her college town, the passenger car became increasingly less crowded. The surrounding areas were now getting empty. Because of her previous outburst, no one dared to create problems and stand close to Tang Chi anymore.

“Oh… she looked familiar…”

“Quite a good looking girl, she should be from our college right?”

“She’s Tang Chi, I think she’s majoring in landscaping design, she’s also known as one of the campus belles. Wow… is she really that fierce?”

…

There were whispers all around the passenger car. However, since the subway wasn’t a quiet place to begin with, Tang Chi couldn’t hear what was said around.

Then, she took out her phone again and called Gu Linzheng back. When the person on the end answered, her sweet voice turned soft and gentle again. “I’m so sorry, there was an emergency just now, I’ve already taken care of it.”

No matter what, Tang Chi couldn’t risk exposing to her ‘contract husband’ that her soul had already changed to someone else.

Her tone now was far too different from her previous outburst. The attitude of her voice changed faster than one could turn a textbook page, this made the people around her look shocked.

She’s definitely talking to her boyfriend on the phone!

“Yes, Linye said that you had an argument with him today.”

Gu Linzheng didn’t really mind much about Tang Chi hanging up his call just now, even though this was the first time in his life that someone hung up the phone on him.

After saying this, Gu Linye, who was beside Gu Linzheng, angrily added. “No, it was one-sided! She insulted me!”

Tang Chi heard what Gu Linye was shouting. She slightly raised her eyebrows.

That idiot told on her?

She definitely gained some first-hand knowledge from this.

Then again, who doesn’t know how to complain?

Gu Linzheng, who was still in the office building, continued to listen to the girl with the gentle voice on the other line. Gu Linzheng occasionally glanced over coldly at Gu Linye. As the conversation carried on longer, the coldness in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

Gu Linye couldn’t help but shudder, ‘Tang Chi wouldn’t just make up lies and rumors on the phone, would she?’, he worriedly thought to himself.

Gu Hengxiao stretched out his neck to eavesdrop. Unfortunately, Gu Linzheng’s phone was of very good quality and sadly, he couldn’t hear anything. However, his eldest son’s expression was visibly growing sterner.

Gu Hengxiao already knew that his second son would be in big trouble.

“Alright, I got it.”

Gu Linzheng ended the phone call with that sentence. Then, he slowly looked at Gu Linye with eyes cold as ice, “Gu Linye, your Sister-in-Law said that you bullied her at home.”

Gu Linye: “…”

What the hell?!

That bitch really told on me?

1This is really too much!

He initially thought a person like Tang Chi wouldn’t have the backbone nor courage to tell on him, but she actually did!

Gu Hengxiao snapped out of his amused look, his face turned serious, “You brat! You bullied your Sister-in-Law at home?”

“…” Gu Linye stiffed his neck and denied three times. “I didn’t! It wasn’t me! It’s not true!”

“So… What you’re saying is that your Sister-in-Law was lying?”

Gu Linye’s eyes narrowed as it froze. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The corner of his eyes was already small to begin with. This made him look even colder and fierce, it made people feel tenser.

Gu Linye: “…”

It seems… she wasn’t lying regarding this matter too…
